McGovern never called Agnew a pig.
George McGovern had way more class than Obama does.
Obama calling our Sarah a pig was so offensive and disgusting. It made me so angry.
I rembember it well. At elementary school, our Teacher’s brought us up one by one and asked us who are parents were going to vote for. I didn’t know, so I (correctly guessed “Nixon”) and was booed by students and teachers alike.
Well, mostly by the teachers. It was then when I became interested in politics and became a “Repblican” at age 12
Tough in 1972 San Franscisco and living at my best friends house which happened to be a commune while my parents were in “the old country” making arrangements to bury their last living elder. Living at the commune was my choice, because my best friend and his brother, who was my 2nd best friend lived there.
But that summer, I knew I was in “enemy territory” and got my first view of how the leftist mind thinks, and how the Gov. owes them a living, and the working man is evil, etc...
And how the mindset of entitlement along with Marijuana can be so debilitating and I watched those people fall into an abyss. The things they were spewing only made me laugh inside to myself. These people were serious. They thought MGovern was going to win. The looks were priceless.
That is my McGovern story. I survived it and came out to be a smart, well-adjusted conservative with a slight Libertarian edge.
